The Grand Bargain

Chris Bowers:

"As you read this, rich and powerful people in Washington, DC are trying to determine not whether they should cut programs designed to help low and middle-income Americans, but by how much they should cut those programs. The rich and powerful people in DC are making these cuts in order to pay for tax breaks they recently gave to rich people and large corporations. Additionally, the cuts are being made at the behest of the lobby organizations and media operations owned by rich people and large corporations.

If that isn't a class war, I don't know what is."


*(pay for tax cuts, and a lot of bombs)


The important millionaire class of politicians and punditry—all of whom will never rely on the social safety net—are bargaining it away to please the very important billionaire class.


We're screwed.
